This has to be propaganda to try and get leverage on who they really want, right?

Why? Roch said they like him..I don't think Roch saying that is going to cause any leverage.

We have heard his name connected to them already, so why not? If the other guys want more money, then the Orioles could easily wuss out on this.

But hey, Jordan says that he can draft who he wants and money isn't an option..what a bunch of crap.

Bradley has been rated the 2nd or 3rd best HS pitcher in this draft, not sure if he's a Hobgood pick because he has a football scholarship to the University of Oklahoma and has some pretty aggressive (just below Bundy) bonus demands. He is generally viewed as a 5-10 pick.

The problem I'd have with this pick is that they'd be passing over the #1 HS pitcher to draft him. And that guy is a LOT more polished right now. The O's have shown a consistent problem with getting guys with control issues to throw strikes and develop that part of their game. That's what worries me about Bradley. His ceiling is awesome. The O's just don't develop players well enough to have them hit their ceilings. That's why I'd rather they take Bundy, or go for Hultzen, who lacks the ceiling but is significantly more polished.

Seriously, this is getting absurd...too much smoke here to ignore this.

Agreed. You saw that Law has us taking him now in his latest mock, right?

So that's Heyman, Law, Roch and Melewski that I know I'd that are saying this.

I hope so, but the word is signability pick. :(

Is Jungmann going to be a tough sign?

How can they be worried about signability? There is a good chance that the new CBA will have a hard slotting system next year..This is the last year for these guys to get good money..The Orioles will have the leverage.

Tell me they aren't this stupid?

You have to wonder what the impact of signing guys like Vlad is on this?

If this happens due to signability, the fans that are left should revolt.

I can't imagine he'd be an easier sign. They still have to talk him into not playing football at Oklahoma. I think it's much more a poor evaluation, which frankly is equally as troubling.

      Felix Bautista 2024 (Monitoring his injury rehab)

      I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections?    A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.   Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      Ding ding ding. It’s the crab pot mentality. Most will drag you back to the bottom rather than allow others to climb out to freedom. It’s the old misery loves company.   Sadly for my Orioles fans, they have used this misery as a warm blanket and have even rationalized their sorrow by way of linking up with other sorrowful fans. It’s a sort of companionship in misery. Suddenly the orioles start to do well, as if this wasn’t the plan by Elias all along, and many orioles fans are still clinging to their long held beliefs that the shoe will drop, that the end is nigh, and that success will all come crashing down.   After all, failure is what they have grown accustomed to, it’s all they know, their world is an abject failure, so when the team they love suddenly starts doing well…they have no idea what to do. They lash out. They find fault where there is none, and their extreme uncomfort becomes full display to all those who might say “yeah but we’re good now, things are good now” but that simply can not be so. There must be something wrong. The shoe will drop. The loss will happen. My life is not fulfilled without the thumping of the chest from the loser Oriole who proclaims to his tribe, “see, I told you so!” sad sacks of shit, the lot of them!

      Ohtani's Interpreter Accused of Theft, Fired.

      Another MLB player, once a teammate and friend of Ohtani, maybe tied to gambling. I didn't bother to try to understand the exact timeline or tie to Ohtani, which seems to be just as friends, but here it is for anyone interested. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40166891/angels-david-fletcher-bet-bookie

      Not for someone who has money riding on him winning the award.

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?
